Kasumi can be played in the chapter challenges as well as in Ninja Trials. This marks the first time that she uses her wakizashi in gameplay. However, Kasumi's gameplay is far more flashy and stylised than Ryu - she usually has sakura petals surrounding her movements, as it is one of her trademarks, and many moves have been taken from her Dead or Alive movelist and been incorporated into her gameplay.

Her gameplay is similar to a more balanced Ayane, while appearing to fight like Ryu.
